While watching The Great Train Robbery we view the whole cinema in black and white. Some of the film can be seen as grey due to the different shades of black that occur throughout the…

Sunday night, after trying to be productive all day, I finally sit down and put my hands on the keyboard, and start typing the essay that I should have started a couple days ago. Yeah, you can call me a procrastinator, and I admit that. I have never been good at writing essays. Even if it’s just a small paragraph of summary, it will usually take me much longer to finish it.

Gulliver’s Travels, Part IV is an eighteenth-century book that evoked vivid clarity, of the perceived fairy tale, to be Jonathan Swift’s metaphoric description of society. Jonathan Swift’s ironic satire belittles mankind, by personifying Yahoos as manlike beastly, ignorant monkeys.

Thus when they went to places like America and the Middle East they brought those beliefs and their patriarchy.
